Alexander assembling a Family Office service line in the UK will build on that momentum.”

Mr Balcombe helps private equity portfolio companies and their stakeholders create, protect and realise value. He was most recently a partner with Evelyn Partners, where he was responsible for sell-side transaction tax support (including vendor due diligence) and PE portfolio services. He brings more than more than 20 years’ experience providing corporate tax advice to domestic and multinational private clients.

A strategic partner to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family office principals and their executives, Mr Marcham has more than 19 years’ experience in personal and family office taxes. Prior to joining A&M, he served as Head of Tax and a member of the senior management team of a London-based single-family office and private venture capital investor.
